Hopefully you’ve recovered from Yuletide overload and your New Year’s festivities but if you’re still in need of healing, consider the medicinal powers of laughter. See some of the nation’s greatest sketch comedy troupes with the Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival!

Held in Belmont’s Stage 773, this 11 day showcase of sheer comedic genius boasts 130 troupes and nearly 170 performances from tonight until Sunday, January 13. One night passes ($35-40) are available every night of the festival (with the exception of Saturdays) and get you into any of that evening’s shows! If your New Year’s resolution is to mind your wallet a little more, just one performance ranges from $14-15. If you feel like treating yourself to start off your 2013, an All Festival Pass is also available for $150.

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 773.327.5252. For information on each of the performing troupes, head over to the Festival’s schedule and click on the group’s names.

Have some fun before your spring semester starts and spend an evening in stitches!
